BERLIN, April 30,-The Budget Commit
tee of the Reichstag to-day adopted in the
form proposed by the government estimates
for the construction of barracks and hos
pitfalls, also the vote for strategetic railways,
and the vote for increasing the efficiency OF
the army and the loan bill. When the
Reichstag resumes its sitting on Thurs
day the committee will present a
report approving the whole budget
proposals Of the government excepting the
artillery grant. Some discussion occurred
over the $1,000, 900 marks devoted to render
ing the army better prepared to fight, and
suggestions were made to reduce the vote of
$4,000, 900 for strategetic railways, but the
ideas of economy were overruled by a con-
viction that collision with France cannot
long be postponed, for the release of NJ
Schnaebeles only modities the position SO
far as justifying Prince Bsmarck's diplo-
matte position in demanding a cessation of
French official excitation torevolt in Alsace
Lorraine, and the stoppage of AN organized
system OF espionage throughout Germany.
GERMANY's CLAIM ON FRANCE.
Official circles consider that Germany has
good claim to demand that France shall
cease from official intriguing i'll the German
provinces 1t is believed that Prince Bis
iS OH m q 70
ton that having proved good will in the
Schnaebeles case France must now stop
OffenseS against the international law by or
dering her officials to refrain from foment-
ing treason in Alsace-Lorraine. If the re-
Spouse of the French government to these
representations is not satisfactory the
Schnaebeles incident, it is thought, will be-
come the starting point Of the greatest
events of the century
FRENCH OFFENDERS.
The Cologne Gazette publishes list of
French agents who have been arrested and
convicted in Germany, and defies the French
government to adduce a single case where a
German government agent has been con-
vlcted Of espionage in France.
Hitherto, the paper adds, the French
government agents who were ar
rested have been liberated after a short
detention. The case of the Danish captain,
EodIuW, UHe pOeU hdH6WShi anu the DclSldll,
Jansen, do not apply to the French. A re-
| cent instance of the leniency of the German
government is the case of Lieut.. Letellier,
who was caught at CarlsIuhe, having in his
| possession plans of the fortress and sketches
| and who was liberated after his guilt had
been fully established This course on the
| part of the government has been the rule
| toward other Frenchmen, but further obser-
vance OF the rule, the Gazette declares, is
| impossible
The Krere Zeitung represents that the in
creased irritation among all classes in Ger
many must inpel the government to ask
| France to offer a trustworthy guarantee
| that Germany shall in the future be pro-
| tected against officially permitted espionage.
sCHNAEBELEs AT HOME.
PARIS, April Bon. Schnaebeles who
| was released from prison yesterday by Or
| der of Germany, and who at once departed
| from Metz, where he was incarcerated, ar
rived at midnight at Pagny-Sur Moselle,
where he had been arrested His wife and
son met him at the station, where were also
assembled the whole populace of
of the municipality. NJ. Schnaebeles was
ovated by the crowd, who cried out: "Vive
| Ia Francel" ''Vive Sehnaebelest" After a
short stay II. Schnaebeles proceeded to
| Paris. He declined TO be interviewed by
| u
had been well treated by the Germans.
| TONE OF THE PRESS.
Paris newspapers appear to be nearly
| all we'll pleased by the manner in
which the Schnaebeles affair has been set
| tied, and pronounce it an honorable settle
ment. They praise the prudence and fair
| ness displayed by NJ. Flourens, Minister
| of Foreign Affairs in his conduct of
| Frances side of the case. A majority of
the papers draw from the incident a lesson
| that in the future France must redouble her
vigilance in order to avoid surprises of the
! kind caused by the arrest of al. Schnaebeles.
KEEPING DOWN DEMONSTRATIONS.
| According to the RepubIiqate Fioncoise,
| all the French projects have been instructed
! to prevent people in their respective districts
! from using the occasion of NJ. Schnaebeles'
| liberation for making anti-Gerrnan demon
strations NJ. Schnaebeles reached Paris this
| afternoon He at once called upon Premier
| Goblet and had an interview with him, in
which he reaftirmed the story of MS arrest
as originally told 1t is again asserted that
| NJ. Schnaebeles will be relieved Of his post
| of commisSary at Pagny-S ur-Moselle and
that he will be retired on pension.

nond cross for Schnaebeies Eleven mem
